"This cheesy meatball casserole has melty cheese and marinara sauce. Enjoy this easy weeknight meal that the whole family will enjoy. Make a large batch of meatballs and freeze some for later when you are short on time. Make the Meatballs Ahead of Time If you are like me, during the week, I am often short on time. When I get home from work, everyone is hungry, and I have 30-60 minutes to get a healthy, nutritious, and scrumptious meal on the table. Therefore, on the weekends when I do have a bit more time, when I make meatballs for this dish, I double the meatball recipe portion. Cook them through, let them cool, and freeze them in airtight containers. Then, on those nights when I am rushed. Out come those extra meatballs are ready for the sauce and cheese and baking. It does take longer to bake because the meat has been frozen, but that is okay, it gives me a few more minutes for myself before feeding everyone. I just cook it until it is hot and bubbly. Generally, an extra 20 minutes will do it. "
